William Byron won the Dixie Vodka 400 from Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday to pick up his first victory of the season.<\/p>\n

Byron led over 100 laps on Sunday, and he was able to pull away from Kyle Larson and Martin Truex Jr. over the final run to claim his second-career victory.<\/p>\n

Byron said his team worked hard in the offseason to make their cars faster at Homestead.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe worked hard in the winter on this track,\u201d Byron said.\u00a0 \u201cThis car was just awesome.\u00a0 I think we went to the sim four or five times this offseason, and it just pays off.\u201d<\/p>\n

Byron picked up the victory in just his third start with new crew chief Rudy Fugle.\u00a0 Fugle had been a crew chief for Kyle Busch Motorsports in the Camping World Truck Series, and led Byron to seven victories in 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat guy has been huge for my career,\u201d Byron said.\u00a0 \u201cHe\u2019s the reason I\u2019m here and I\u2019m glad I could get him.\u00a0 He\u2019s just awesome and this whole team did a phenomenal job.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tyler Reddick finished second after charging through the field on the high side over the final run.\u00a0 Reddick had the fastest car in the closing laps, but didn\u2019t have enough time to chase down Byron to fight for the win.<\/p>\n

Reddick said he was disappointed to finish second with such a fast car.<\/p>\n

\u201cSecond place is a good night considering how the first few weekends have went,\u201d Reddick said.\u00a0 \u201cOnce I really saw how fast we were in clean air at the end there and I saw how fast we were catching everybody, it\u2019s beyond frustrating.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJust two or three decisions on a restart would have put me miles ahead, and I would have been within reach.\u201d<\/p>\n
